About The Position

Symmetry Software is seeking an autonomous, forward-thinking Executive Operations Partner to sit at the center of how Symmetry runs. You will be the strategic right hand to our CEO, Elizabeth Oviedo, taking ownership of leadership operating rhythms, complex scheduling, and the operational support for the Symmetry steering committee as it navigates a pivotal growth transformation. This is a senior, high-impact role for a leader who anticipates needs by default, reduces friction before it surfaces, and wants the fast pace of a small, high-growth team with the backing of a mature, profitable business.

Requirements

4+ years supporting VP-level or above executives, including calendaring for multiple executives, complex travel, and event planning — or equivalent relevant experience.
Demonstrated AI fluency you have built systems around. You can walk us through specific AI workflows you designed, documented, and got others to adopt — not just tools you have tried. You write structured prompts with real context and constraints, you critically review output before it reaches an executive, and you protect sensitive data by default.
An autonomous, strategic working style. You find ways to add value to the CEO and the leadership team without prompting or significant guidance. You navigate ambiguity, balance tradeoffs in high-stakes projects, and see around corners.
Influence across leaders and teams. You build trust with executives and cross-functional partners through clarity, follow-through, and discretion, and you mentor others in the craft.
Outstanding organization and judgment under pressure. Incredibly detail-oriented, able to prioritize competing assignments, and calm when responsibilities shift — with a great deal of common sense and a bias toward "find a way."
Strong written and spoken communication, plus project management from conception to completion, and complete confidentiality, tact, and discretion on all business matters.
Culture builder. A strong instinct for bringing people together and collaborating with the workplace experience team.
Proficiency with Google Suite and AI Tooling: Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Notion, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or others
